DESCRIPTION:Agent-based modelling is a versatile approach employed across 
 various fields to simulate and analyse complex systems. In my presentation
 \, I will introduce innovative methods and tools from Software Engineering
  that I believe have the potential to enhance the work of agent-based mode
 llers in the field of Epidemiology. I will start with an exploration of st
 ate machines\, focusing on their effectiveness in representing the dynamic
  states of individual agents and the transitions between these states\, wh
 ich could help in modelling complex epidemiological processes like disease
  spread and control strategies more accurately. Following this\, I will pr
 esent a novel framework that employs methods from Software Engineering to 
 facilitate the co-creation of agent-based models. This framework aims to b
 ridge the gap between stakeholders and modellers\, enabling more collabora
 tive and accurate model development. Finally\, I will discuss approaches t
 o optimising resource efficiency in large-scale agent-based models. This w
 ill include an examination of multi-method modelling techniques and the us
 e of collective person agents\, which can significantly reduce computation
 al costs while maintaining model fidelity.
